Technical Round (did not advance) I didn’t clear the first technical round, but these were the key questions: Top-K Frequent Elements Implement a function to return the top K most frequent integers in an array. Explain the approach and why it’s optimal. Extension: handle a streaming input. I discussed an event-driven, chunked approach—processing counts per chunk and updating/replacing a rolling top-K across chunks. setTimeout Ordering with an API Call Given a setTimeout followed by an API call, identify the issue with execution order and make the API call run after the timeout. I talked through the call stack, event loop, macro/microtask queues, and how Promise/async-await can control ordering. Remove Overlapping Time Windows For input like [[3,2],[1,6],[4,8],[5,9]], remove overlaps to produce something like [[3,6],[4,8],[5,9]]. They wanted a step-by-step plan: input sanitization, processing strategy, and analysis of time/space complexity. Reason : The response/feedback i got was your answers were right but from data persepective they were not thorough

Round 1: SDET Director It wend pretty well. Interviewer was knowledgeable and asked the questions around past projects and managerial skill Round 2: SDE Director Focus was on algorithmic questions. 1. Print tree in zigzag manner 2. in 2D-array if elements are in increasing order in Row and column then find the particular element Interviewer was calm and cool. I couldn't give the answer for questions as I was not prepared well I was happy with the interview experience till this point Round 3 : Sr SDET Manager Was asked mainly around the processes followed in my company and couple of random questions. In this round interviewer was talking more than me. Round 4 : Sr SDET Manager Interviewer had some questions and was expecting the same answers which he had in mind. I was expecting maturity level for person with such designation And as usual no feedback from HR team.
